I have recently taken in a Russian Tortoise for a family member that will be away for quite a while. I have certainly enjoyed the fellow being around. He has quite an healthy appetite and is very active (particularly digging :} )
However, I have recently noticed dry, flaky skin on his head/face area. Also, dent like marks have been appearing on his shell. Yet, there is no discharge or fleshy areas that usually occur with shell rot. I have been soaking him regularly and providing a diet with variety. I have included some pictures as well. Please help, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank You
